Recruitment
A versatile player from an under-recruited region of the country where Michigan has gotten a lot of talent, Dennis got his offer from the Wolverines in Jan. 2019.
He committed on June 23 along with William Mohan, Aaron Lewis Jordan Morant and Reece Atteberry.
Readiness Level
Given that he’s an early-enrollee, should he opt to play on the offensive side of the ball, likely won’t redshirt, should he acclimate quickly like some of his counterparts on the offense. Contributor status early, potential starter down the line.
Early Enrollee?
Yes

From Jim Harbaugh on the In the Trenches podcast:
“Eamonn Dennis has the ability to be both a defensive player or an offensive player,” Harbaugh said. “Could be a corner or could be a receiver. Kind of like a Mike Sainristil – another really good Mike Sainristil.
“Pretty simple – Eamonn Dennis is a really good receiver and he’s a really good defensive back. If you think Mike Sainristil, if you watched Eamonn’s tape, you’re gonna think of Mike Sainristil. That’s who I thought of when I first watched Eamonn Dennis play football. He could be a corner, he could be a slot receiver. He could be a return person.
